About the only time pike bite people is when people stick their fingers in the pike's mouth.
Like RC51, I grew up in northern Wisconsin. From the time I was 3 or 4 y.o., I was fishing at every opportunity I had. I literally grew up with northern pike and musky out the back door.
Yes, I've drawn back a number of bloodied fingers because of pike and walleye. But, it was always my own fault, as I was trying to retrieve a hook or lure.
I've seen baby ducks get swallowed down by big musky. But in my 65 years I've never known any person to be attacked by a fish from the pike or perch family.
I'm more afraid of my hybrid sunfish, and their green cousins.
